A Word from PJ
“Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
Staying away from the appearance of sin is something we all struggle with from time to time. What usually happens is that we think as long as we aren’t doing something wrong then it must be ok. The truth is, God doesn’t even want us doing something that could give someone else the idea that we are committing a sin. When we put ourselves in a position that could possibly give an appearance of us doing something we shouldn’t, then we shouldn’t be in that position. We are called to live above reproach. Let’s live in such a way that we don’t give the enemy a chance to catch us slipping.
Love you,
